Still scanning pictures and figured it was time to share a few more. When we were stationed in Spain we took a trip to Paris in April of 2000. Two of my favorite things we did were Versailles and Mont-St-Michel.
For Versailles we just caught the train out there and walked from the station. Very easy trip. We spent most of the day there. Took a tour of the Palace and then walked around the grounds. There was a lot going on in the gardens because they had some terrible wind storms (hurricane strength winds) that winter and so much was destroyed. They were makes progress getting everything back to normal.
For Mont-St-Michel we took a bus tour that last from very early to very late. It was a great trip and something I had always wanted to do ever since my French teacher in high school talked about it. It was pretty impressive. We are still pretty far away in this shot but you can see the whole thing. The day we went the tide was out for most of the time we were there so it wasn't much of an island.
This is from where we parked and you can see the little town that surrounds it. You walk around and up to get to the church. Most of the stores are just tourist places now and we went through them on our way back to the bus.
We really enjoyed Paris and would really like to go again someday but there are so many other places to go don't know how we would squeeze it in.
